Author Hannah Whitten talks writing, finding true meaning in fantasy, and THE HELM QUEEN!

I had so much fun exploring the NIGHTSHADE CROWN trilogy last month through its first two installments, THE FOXGLOVE KING and THE HEMLOCK QUEEN. I had even more fun talking about it with Hannah Whitten, New York Times, Indie, and USAToday bestselling author and dear old Internet friend who was kind enough to answer all my questions.

Hannah is my guest star for season 6!

Some topics for discussion: embarking on alternative paths to success, exploring the meaning of real life in engaging fantasy worlds, observing the coming eclipse, and creating impeccable social media aesthetics.

Plus, in a spoiler-only section, Hannah shares her favorite twist and scene in THE HEMLOCK QUEEN!

THE HEMLOCK QUEEN will be released next Tuesday, April 9, and is available for pre-order now: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hannah-whitten/the-hemlock-queen/9780316435499/
